Invalid help (.chm) file

Any attempt to access VB6 help now results in the following message.
"Attempting to use an invalid compiled help (.chm) file"
I used Google for some clues and I learned that .chm files have something to do with HTML but I did not see any remedies listed.
Do I need to re-install VB6 and/or the MSDN Library or do I need to download a patch from somewhere? I'm hoping someone else here is familiar with the problem and the solution.
Thanks

I have a similar problem in that when I installed another product, it seemed to "disconnect" the help reference from VB6 (error is "an unknown error has occurred"). I imagine if I reinstalled MSDN, it would work again, but I just haven't bothered.

I display help from the both the Help Menu and sometimes using F1 and Yes, it WAS working the last time I used it. I've never even heard of a .chm file before today. All I know is that it's somehow connected to accessing vb help.

I will take Phil's advice an reinstall the MSDN Libray and hope the solves the problem. Thanks
